Much better than traditional keyboard It is a very clever design to cure the problem of typing on touch screen device. However, I need to switch between English and Chinese keyboards frequently. It would be great if a quick key can be added on the keyboard to enable me to do so without having to go to the Settings.

This is a great app! I just started using this app and I am already typing as fast as before but having more fun! Typing has never been this fun!! I recommend this app to anyone that wants to have fun typing!! Thanks for making an amazing app!!

Very good on the G Watch I love the idea, and I can actually text from my watch with it and Wear Messenger. Not a 5 because I think that they could optimize the 6 boxes for more intuitive typing. Still, its an excellent keyboard for a smartwatch device.

Well worth trying... It is a very real challenge to get input on small devices right. One thing that needs to evolve more is keyboarding - especially with touch devices. This app is well worth the try and a very innovative solution! It lets you be very accurate and I think given some practice, fast as well. The dev is excellent at responding as well.

Sorry for the confusion! The video shows FlickKey working on smartwatch, but makes no claims to working on AndroidWear smartwatches. Actually, I think the video was made before Wear came out. Maybe time for a new one.
A beta is available though for Wear. As Google has not opened up Wear to keyboards, you have to load it with ADB. Email support.

Thanks Karl! For those interested in typing on smartwatches, A basic version of FlickKey is now included in Wear Messenger SMS app for Android Wear. (From a different dev.) This app gives you full texting with the ability to quietly reply with a keyboard from your wear smartwatch.

Google presently does not support Android Wear keyboards. They have removed the settings to install a keyboard as the default system keyboard from wear. However, if you have the programmer tool ADB, and you know how to use it, FlickKey can be loaded. A modified version of FlickKey for wear will be available soon. Email the support address.

Neat Concept but Needs Work I immediately noticed that this keyboard is considerably shorter than the other keyboards on my tablet. It could be a little taller to make the six keys more square and therefore usable. I would also prefer to flick in the opposite direction; my instinct is to start the gesture from where I see the letter that I want and flick into the center.

Did it take just 20 minutes to learn QWERTY? Probably longer. FlickKey shouldn't take as long as learning the QWERTY keyboard layout, as you basically know where the letters are. But it does take awhile for this android keyboard to really sink into your brain.

Android Wear does not yet support 3rd party keyboards. FlickKey will definitely support it if Google enables keyboards. However, a basic version of FlickKey is now in Wear Messenger (from another dev). This sms messaging app enables you to quietly reply to texts with a keyboard.

Really sweet keyboard app - love it! The popup keys are amazingly fast. This keyboard for android lives up to its promise. I love that it types just what I tell it to, rather than guessing. I also like that if I type something like keybaord, I can just long press the space key to keep the misspelling. Best of the alternative keyboards.

FlickKey has two screens, versus the usual three, to hold all the characters. Simply press the "123" to get to the second screen and then choose the backslash. FlickKey includes many more symbols than in other keyboards in the popup keys. Want to enter something odd, like a square root, a star, or french quotation marks? FlickKey has them!

Not bad but needs work There are a lot of minor inconveniences with this keyboard. First off, it doesn't capitalize the first letter in a text automatically. Also, it never capitalizes the letter "i" when it is by itself. Finally, double tapping space doesn't put in a period, which it should do automatically or at least have the option to do.

Issues fixed in 1.4 of the Android keyboard app! FlickKey's method of inputting the period (full stop) is quicker. However, double tapping space key to enter a period is now in the latest version of FlickKey Keyboard for Android app. BTW, if you enter a word like " keybaord ", and want to keep the misspelling, long press the space key.

Thanks for the great review! Unfortunately, FlickKey keyboard app for Android no longer supports the Samsung Gear, as they have been changed over to the Tizen OS. The exception is the Gear Live, which is an Android Wear smartwatch. FlickKey works on Android Wear, but Wear does not yet support keyboards by giving access to needed keyboard settings.

The future of input. I have used FlickKey on a few different devices and I really like it. Compared to the qwerty style keyboard that they try to stuff on a tiny screen this is amazing to use and the pop up words are great. Once you get going your typing response will be incredibly fast. Try it continuously for a two weeks and I am sure you will like it. You just have to get the QWERTY crud out of your head.

Definitely different than 8open Android keyboard. 8open is the most creative keyboard I've seen. It has a certain similarity to swype, but you swype in arcs to get each letter. Looks much slower though than FlickKey's keyboard app.

Sorry Sibu, Android Wear does not support any keyboards. FlickKey only stated that it (a basic version) is now built into Wear Messenger. That being said, it is possible to load a beta version of FlickKey on Wear with programmer tools. Contact support email for info. A better review would be appreciated, as FlickKey would be on Wear if it could be.

Send an email to support(at)flickkey.com and I'll send you a beta that works on your G Watch R smartwatch. I would appreciate it if you would not rate FlickKey so low on a platform that specifically does not support keyboards. (It is clearly stated in the app description that the version you tried does not support Android Wear.)

Unlike Swiftkey, FlickKey keyboard for android doesn't want access to you phone id and all your data. Network access is only requested for the in-app purchase. FlickKey is safe and secure. Can we really trust all the android keyboard apps like Swftkey that want access to everything to keep our passwords and data safe?

FlickKey is a press and slide keyboard. Touch the button, and "Flick" in the direction of the letter you want to type. For more help, please see the app description, built in help, web site, video, etc. Also, FlickKey keyboard for Android developed on a Note III - KitKat fully supported.
